Summary
On March 28, 2026, the Israeli military published an image depicting Lebanese journalist Ali Shoeib wearing a Hezbollah uniform to justify an airstrike that killed him and two other journalists. The image was later admitted by the Israeli military to be photoshopped, with spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Nadav Shoshani describing it as a ‘digital illustration’ that combined an authentic photo with an edited part. The Foreign Press Association criticized the military for discrediting Shoeib by releasing inaccurate information and allegations without clear evidence.
